bullet  Burial Notes

Haven Hill Cemetery, Lot 1747 (unmarked)

On January 18, 2010, Jim Michels researched the Olney burial records and discovered the following:  "John William McDowell is buried about 75 or 100 feet away from Sarah. There is no tombstone. He is in lot 1747, the south half of the north half. The owner of his plot is listed as Blanche Pickle. He is buried next to Joseph Von Almen who is just to his south and does have a tombstone.
According to the city records, there never was a tombstone for John McDowell. They only list a "stabber"; that is the little metal name tag that the funeral home marks the grave with. It is long gone."
